Rent: yes, the rent is insane! But, with two big dogs, a shitty credit score and wanting to live alone, it's the cheapest I could find. For the moment it is non-negotiable.

Dont be an alcoholic smoker. Just walk around the block or get a treadmill. Learn to cook. Stop playing shitty mobile games. Get a cheaper place or give the dogs away.

Walk around the block

That's only starting somewhere if you've been in a coma for the last 2 years. That's less walking than getting groceries at the store.

Walking around the block isn't exercise and isn't a start. If you disagree with this then you are fat.

More exercise than this guy is getting from $200 a month. Unless he's buying 50lb plate sets each month or juice that $200 is not justified

>or juice

Test E is cheap as frick though. You can juice on a poverty budget.

If you're really cheap you can get raw Testosterone on Alibaba and do it yourself. Needles can be had for free near the (government sponsored) local needle exchange. Then you only need a decent scale. $200 of Test raws should be enough Test to last you 10-20 years. (It is that cheap)

Yes it is. I also said buy a treadmill.

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

No it isn't. And why buy a treadmill, just run around a lot of blocks.

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

Treadmills are way easier on your knees and you never have to deal with shitty weather. Running in snow sucks butt.

You can get nice treadmills dirt cheap too, it's probably the most frequently bought equipment for people that tell themselves I'm going to get in shape but never do.

Jump in the discussion.

Running on treadmills blows and like you said it's frequently bought by people who will never run on them. If you were going to run you'd just go outside and do it because there's no reason to buy a treadmill.

How do you spend 320$ on booze :marseymoonshine: and smokes? n you can get a gallon of gutrot and gpcs for sub 20$

Jump in the discussion.

Not in leafland you can't. Used to spend $50/week easily on booze before I started homebrewing. $320 for cigs and booze a month does not go far here

Alcohol is a scam in Canada. In Ontario you can only buy liquor in government stores and it's wildly overpriced and taxed. Pretty easy to rack that $ up.

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

It's like $25-30 per pack of smokes and about $25 to $30 for 15 of shit beer. Liquor is at least $20 a bottle for gut rot tier. Smoking 2 packs a week and pulling back some beers on the weekend is gonna be like $300/mo

Canada has very high sin taxes.

@SexyFartMan69 is it true that you can just drive over to an indian (feather) res and buy shit for much cheaper? I used to do that for weed, it was like 1/4 the cost outside the res.

Smokes and weed yeah but not liquor, at least not that I know of.

Ah that makes sense, now that I think about it I don't remember many liquor stores there. There were a ton of gas stations though, and one other thing... maybe fireworks or something?

They also had VERY slow speed limits, I assume they're trying to milk "foreigners" (read: anglos) for as much money as they can.

Any town has a 50km/h speed limit no matter what so you often have the main fricking highways slowing to 50km/h to pass thru some bullshit r-slur town

Also $200 for "fitness"? Any gym membership that vosts that much isnt worth it. I hardly use a gym and im in excellent physical shape, and when I was paying at a bice gym it was less that $200 for the year.

Also he put fitness in quotes bc he is a fat probably.

No I put fitness in quotes because I ripped off another comment and forgot to remove them lol. There's a lot of sausage fingered fatties in that thread telling him to cancel the gym membership entirely and walk his dog for his daily exercise.

The price you should pay for a gym is directly proportional to how much the normal gyms are infested with the poors. I gladly pay for Equinox because of the patrons at the only other gym in my area.

urbancels are a joke lmao

whad a heck they put themselves in


and they don't even know

there's a better way


coulb make a trillion dollars as a tate-style 'de-hustle' tuber I think :marseyhmm: if I ever need a grift

consider taking a lower paying job if it means even more lowering on your COL

like go outside, find hobbies that don't invovle paying other people for the privelige of being there, or consuming in general

especially in a beautiful empty place like BC it makes no sense what these r-slurs do living in the ONE shithole

As a landlord (horrible person) I am most definitely getting extra rent on each of those beasts. Around here I would rent a fresh bsmt 1 br for $1200 (& a $1200 deposit due at signing) . If it's an r-slur like OP I'd rent a beat up 1br to him for $1500 +$2000 deposit to account for how much more trashed the place will be in a year. If he miraculously lasts a year, he will likely get uppity and move anyway. If he stays, well I rolled the dice and won this time.

Frick dogs as "family", incelenter

Alright, here it is. Listen up you absolutely filthy degenerate. I am unblocking you after months (nearly a year) to say this only and only once so that the people who are upvoting your filth know exactly who you are and what you do. For months you have been hounding my comments in an attempt to elicit a response from me, you have made multiple accounts confessing your 'love' for me. Sent me countless number of private messages inviting me to frick you. You have tailed my comments asking me if I would like to have a 'bang bang' coffee with you and discussed with other redditors if they'd like to watch as you frick me. I have witnessed the change in your comment strategy to siding by me to gain brownie points to posting absolute trash so that I give up and respond to your bullshit.
